Printable Maps

A high-quality JPEG and non-layered PDF assure you always get the sharpest prints possible, no matter what size you are printing on. They are perfect to use in print design, in your latest book, as a wall map, and much more.

Use your favourite vector editing software to open the non-layered PDF file format. Change elements, remove things or add stuff to the PDF map, without compromising in quality.

Vector Maps

Extensive layering makes it easy to toggle visibility and more. Named objects make finding a particular one (like a river) that much faster. Relevant objects are grouped so selecting a country area will select all areas (like islands) that belong to that country. Text is real text, with fonts used that are in public domain, or maybe already installed on your computer. Scale your map to any size you want without compromising on quality.

A purchased map package contains several file formats, so it should be no problem editing the map in your favorite vector editing software. We do recommend you use Adobe Illustrator to get the most functionality.

Who we are / What we do

Graphic design and cartography, these two skills is what One Stop Map define. We have more than 20 years of experience in both fields and by combining them we are trying to make maps that are accurate, highly readable and attractive at the same time.

There are a lot of maps made every day, and a lot of good ones too. We don’t pretend our maps are the best of them all, but we do want to achieve a certain level of quality. If you have made maps before, you know it takes time to get a decent and accurate map. And that is what we did. We took our time to develop original map styles that could potentially meet your expectations of a good map.

We have plenty of free maps available in each of our map styles. We urge you to try them out and see for yourself if they can be an added value for your work.

Be sure to follow our blog, where we go into more detail about several aspects of the world of cartography. We are not sparsely with our insights and are happy to share anything that can be an asset for you or your work.

Let our maps be the starting point to make your best work yet.
